By a recent decision Of the United States Circuit
Court OF wisconsin, women in that State have the
right to vote in all city elections About three years
ago a bill was introduced in the State senate giving
women the right TO vote at all elections pertaining
to school Matters In the customary slpshod way
the bill hurried through both houses under Tho
impression that II simply authorized women 10 vote for
school officers, a measure which nearly everybody
aprrovcd Of Tho bill then submitted to the
people and having received a majority Of the votes
cast became law. And then came the surprise which
was probably foreseen by the man who drew mp the
bill At the munich pal elections last spring largo
number of women claimed the right to vote for
Council on the ground that the words OF the act.
all elections pertaining to school matters referred
TO such officers. A test case was made up for the
Circuit Court which has sustained the women. And
so to its intense surprise Wisconsin finds that 1t has,
without knowing IL, given the ballot 10 women
The law cannot repealed except by popular vote
and as the women have right to vote on the question
they have the matter entirely in their own hands
The women suffragsts of Wisconsin think very highly
of the word pertaining" which has given them their
victory
